Watching Meng Yuâs slightly awkward and avoidant expression, Li Zhe captured the essence in just a second. âAh Yu, could it be that you lied just to stay with me?â he asked.
âDirector Li, enough about that. Letâs hurry back,â Nieng Yu said, shaking off Li Zheâs hand, putting on a mask, and hastily heading outside.
Nieng Yu was visiting the Guan family for the first time and did not know how to exit from the inner courtyard. So, he retraced his steps back to the garden and left through its main gate.
Thus, everyone in the garden witnessed the scene of Li Zhe chasing after Meng Yu.
Li Zhe followed behind Meng Yu like a monkey, repeatedly asking, âDid I get it right? Tell me, is it like this? Is it?â
Shen Xi snapped out of her daze and, blinking her eyes, looked at Guan Lei. âGuan Lei, youâll have even more negative gossip now.â
Guan Lei saw Li Zhe without a mask and wig, following behind Meng Yu, with a filthy face, dancing along as they passed through the garden. He felt a suffocating sensation.
At this point, whispers started to fill the surroundings. Shen Xi and Guan Lei instantly found themselves at the center of a lively discussion.
âOh my, did I see that correctly? Werenât those two the Young Master and his companion?â
âNo, the companion is a guy, right? Thatâs why heâs so tall!â
âI canât believe it! Isnât this exciting? I thought Young Master Guan liked tall, athletic girls, but he seems to prefer guys.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âOh my, why did they even set us up for blind dates? Young Master doesnât like
âYou have to admit, Young Master is really brave. Heâs coming out in front of so many people at this party. That takes courage.â
âAgreed, Young Master even had his boyfriend dress up as a girl and they were dancing together in front of everyone. Thatâs impressive.â
Shen Xi looked at Guan Leiâs increasingly darkened face and nearly burst into laughter.
She leaned in closer to Guan Leiâs ear and teased, âSo, this is what you wanted me to see today, your own entertainment?â
Guan Leiâs face turned as dark as a pot bottom. He never expected things to turn out this way. His intentions had not been fulfilled, his reputation was tarnished, and worst of all, he inadvertently helped Li Zhe. It was infuriating.
As the party gradually lost its charm due to âGuan Leiâsâ departure, Shen Xi felt it was time to leave.
Worried that it was getting late, Guan Lei informed Guan Bo and Zhao Yuan and then escorted Shen Xi to the styling studio. After she removed her makeup, Guan Lei finally took Shen Xi home.
The car stopped at the entrance of the Shen family villa. Guan Lei held onto Shen Xi for a while, reluctant to part. After some tender moments, Shen Xi finally left.
But as soon as Shen Xi entered the house, she noticed her parentsâ strange gazes. She became anxious, wondering if her outing with Guan Lei had been discovered by her parents.
Shen Xi changed her shoes and nervously approached her parents, asking,
âMom, Dad, whatâs wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?â Lu Shan let out a sigh and said, âWe heard that this Guan Lei is gay.â
Shen Xiâs eyes widened in shock. Had this news spread so quickly?
Lu Shan saw Shen Xiâs expression and thought she did not believe it, so she quickly grabbed her phone and showed it to Shen Xi.
Shen Xi took the phone and looked at the pictures inside.
There were not many photos, just two. One showed âGuan Leiâ wearing a peony mask, being spun around by a girl in front of him. It seemed to be taken by someone nearby, and even the hickeys on âGuan Leiâsâ neck were quite clear.
The other photo showed âGuan Leiâ hurrying away with the peony mask, followed by a short-haired, unmasked man. However, this manâs clothing was identical to the girl who had been holding Guan Lei earlier.
Shen Xiâs head was buzzing as she asked Lu Shan, âSo, whatâs the situation now? Are they saying that Guan Lei is gay?â
Lu Shan nodded seriously, âItâs already spreading like wildfire, and many people are trying to find out who the man in drag is.â
Shen Xi suddenly felt relieved. Li Zhe had worn makeup today, and it was applied quite evenly. As a result, many people could not recognize him.
Otherwise, it would have been a disaster for both the Guan and Li families.
One was the only son of the Guan family in Beijing, and the other was the only son of the Li family in Hai City. If these two ended up together, the entire social circle would explode.
Of course, the fact that Guan Lei was now known to be gay was already quite explosive in itself..
